Warren Carter, Julia Bailey and Greg Votolato explore the various ways US artists and architects working in the 1920s and 1930s, including Frank Lloyd Wright, were inspired by Mexico’s Mayan heritage, and how the advent of modernism allowed that past to be considered – and deployed – in innovative ways.
